Firework Cooldown
by Doenergepard
Firework Cooldown, a Forge mod for 1.20.1, puts a cooldown on firework rockets used to boost while gliding with an Elytra.
What it does
After a player boosts themselves with a firework rocket while wearing an Elytra, the rocket goes on cooldown. The default cooldown is 45 seconds. The mod is meant to make other travel methods more competitive with the Elytra, and to make higher-level rockets worth using because they carry the same cooldown and allow travel further per use.
The cooldown length can be changed with the fireworkCooldown game rule, which takes a value in ticks. The mod is compatible with other mods that add different types of Elytras, such as Cataclysm. It is a Forge mod for 1.20.1 only, and it runs on the server side only, so players join without installing it. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Rocket boost cooldown
Using a firework rocket to boost while gliding starts a cooldown before the next boost can be used.
Adjustable cooldown
The fireworkCooldown game rule sets the cooldown time in ticks, so server owners can change the default 45 seconds.
Higher-level rockets
Higher-level rockets share the same cooldown, so they cover more distance per boost and become a practical choice.
Alternative travel methods
With the boost limited, other ways of moving across the world gain value in comparison to the Elytra.

Use cases
Balancing elytra travel
Server owners who want rockets to be one option among several can keep the default cooldown or set their own value.
Playing with Elytra variants
The mod works alongside mods that add other types of Elytras, such as Cataclysm, and applies the same cooldown to them.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to slow down Elytra travel with firework rockets, and players on those servers who rely on rockets for long flights.
